2025 U.S. Out of the Shadows Index Released
World Childhood Foundation USA, funders of our youth service, What's OK?, and Economist Impact have released the 2025 U.S. Out of the Shadows Index, a powerful, data-driven wake-up call for the U.S.
The Index examines the actions - and inactions - taken by individual states to address child sexual abuse and exploitation. This report scores all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
Rigorous, comparative analyses like these are vital for progress and protecting current and future generations from harm.

Stop It Now! Director Jenny Coleman was featured as a guest on the Guardians of Hope podcast recently where she spoke about the dangers of AI and peer-generated images, how digital media is changing how we reach youth, and when youth need help most.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s new Internet Safety & Generative AI Presentation for Parents helps families understand the risks of AI and protect kids online.
